Asv soon as the button has been properly insertedfinto the buttonholes, with one part of the cu' in the space between the head 2 and stem-parta, andtheother part oit" the cuff on the stem betweenthe .part 4 and the Vbase member 3, the membery 3 is turned to its transverse position. .i Thereupon. the

end ofthe stem l., whereupon oneside of the VVcuff willbe clampedor gripped between the face8 ofthe head-,2 andthe part 4 ofthe f details of the construction Vshown may be stem. This,'willinsure against the Vo u buttheeiil",v even" if the other part ofthe cuff should accidentally become detached.

After the button has been inserted, the membergl. is normallyretained in its transverselyfshifted position through the seating of the head'llA inthe recess 14 of the flange 9.

When it isdesired to removethe button,

the) member f3 is shifted. out oi itstransverse position into ,the position` shown 1n Fig.V l, whereupon the garment is released by the head and stem, and the button lmay be removed.

Although but. one specific embodiment of this invention has been herei-nshownand de-V soribed, it will be'understoodthat numerous altered or `omitted without departing from following claims!` p i the spirit of this invention as deined by the claim: In a device ofthe kclass described, the combination offa. steinja head shiftably i mounted onsaid stem, abase memberpivotally mountedon said stem, a spring. normally Vurgir'ig said head against lthe end of said stem, and y.a connection between said base l .member and said head,`.whereby the turning i Y of saidbase member'outof its normal trans- 45V saidy head. away'. from-the end ofsaid stem.

In a deviceof the classdeseribed,- the combination of a stem, a rOdshitably' mounted thereon, a head carried on the end of said rod, a base member pivotally mounted on saidstem andfhaving a flange transversely arranged thereon, a spring normally urging said rod against said flange, and a plurality. of shoulders formed on said flange whereby the shifting of saidV base member into and outofa transverse 'position relative toV said stem oausesa shifting of said head 'toward and laway from the end of saidV stem,

nrging said rod against said flange, and a plurality of shoulders formed on said flange 'whereby the shifting of said base member said flange having notchesv formed, thereinf' adjacent to said shoulders, in which said rod end is adapted tobe seated for yieldingly holding said base member in position relative tosaid stem. i
